Spine slightly slanted, corners bumped including some pages, minor edge wear. Some pages crinkled, likely from water damage. Text is clean and unmarked. A Large Print Mystery. Translated by Eileen Ellenbogen. "Snared in the propeller of a barge was a man's arm -- drained white, and limp as a dead fish from prolonged immersion in the murky canal. It was a singularly challenging case for Chief Inspector Maigret, as piece by gruesome piece the corpse of a man was assembled from the muddy canal bottom -- all except the head.
His imperturbable detective's logic thoroughly aroused, Maigret searched the squalid bistros and byways of Paris for four necessary items: the corpse's missing head, the identity of the body, the murderer, and -- most elusive of all -- the motive. It was a case which would require Maigret's keenest eye for minute detail . . . and his most profound psychological insights."
